Trigger Warning: This article contains graphic details about a brutal murder.
Donald Trump is fuming in anger and has so much to say after the murder of Chandra Mouli Nagamallaiah in Dallas, Texas. He was an Indian man living in America who was beheaded by his employee, Cobos-Martinez, after an argument over a broken washing machine last week. Dallas Police arrested the suspect, and he is currently in custody.
Disturbing videos show Cobos-Martinez running behind the motel corridor after Chandra tried to escape the monster. When he catches him, he is seen checking Chandra Nagamallaiah ‘s pockets and attacking him with a machine before he then kicks the victim’s head “like a soccer ball” and leaves it in a trash can.
He was reportedly attacked because Martinez was angry that Nagamallaiah did not ask him to translate the instructions, but instead asked another staff member to do it. A witness cleaning a room with the accused said Mr Nagamallaiah said Martinez must not use a broken washing machine. He then asked that person to convey the instructions instead of addressing Martinez directly.

As per the Irish Star, the 37-year-old has been charged with capital murder as ICE confirmed that a detainer has been filed against Cobos-Martinez, who was previously released from ICE custody in January 2025 under an Order of Supervision. In the wake of the horrible scenario, Donald Trump made sure people knew how angry he was.
The 79-year-old took to Truth Social late Sunday to express outrage over the brutal murder of Chandra Nagamallaiah in Dallas, Texas. He warned people that his administration would not take a lenient stance on immigration, blaming the killing on “immigrant criminals who should have never been in our country.”
According to Trump, the victim, a respected member of the Dallas community, was reportedly beheaded in front of his wife and child by Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, an undocumented immigrant with a criminal record.
The silence from influential Indian Americans on Chandra Nagamallaiah’s brutal beheading is deafening.
Hate crimes don’t vanish when ignored, they multiply.
If communities don’t stand up for their own, who will?”

“This savage act could have been prevented,” Trump wrote. “The era of being soft on illegal immigrant criminals is over under my watch.” He praised his administration officials, including Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi, for working to “Make America Safe Again,” he wrote.

Congressman Ro Khanna also condemned the killing, calling it “horrific” and emphasizing that someone with a history of violent offences should not have been free on American streets. People also condemned former President Joe Biden for releasing Cobos-Martinez on January 13, 2025, from Bluebonnet Detention Centre despite knowing he could be a threat to society.
Meanwhile, Mr Nagamallaiah, who hails from Karnataka, India, is survived by his wife, Nisha, and their 18-year-old son, Gaurav, who is set to begin University soon. His funeral was held in Flower Mound, Texas.
Donald Trump has faced immense scrutiny for his ruthless immigration policies and mass deportation agenda since the beginning of his term. As of August 2025, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a new directive that people seeking entry must pay heed to how their character weighs American values. The goal is to raise the standard for what it means to be an American. The policy seeks to “restore integrity”
I don’t think a lot of people realize there is a requirement of demonstrating good moral character and that you are “well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States” to obtain citizenship.
It’s not just limited to criminal acts. https://t.co/ZZmcdv210t pic.twitter.com/jy3PvJgqQ9

From stricter medical tests to visa interviews, identity authentication, and even checking social media to determine a person’s political views, the government has made sure to tell the world that coming to America is not for the weak. So think again before applying for that visa and moving to America!
